Go figure... There is an entry for Little Folks: A Magazine for the Young on Wikipedia in French but not in English. From this it can be gleaned that this delightful magazine for children was published by Cassell's from 1871 to 1933. Little Folks had a somewhat more mature approach to children's publishing than, say, Chatterbox; hence the magazine includes a number of articles that are interesting to adults as well. It offers stories, poetry, music, and short articles about history, nature, crafts and other topics that would be of interest to children of various ages. Other than one volume on Project Gutenberg, there do not seem to be any digital copies online.

VictorianVoices.net has made this complete volume, and over 250 other magazines, available for free download from Archive.org. Visit our magazine download page for a complete list of available magazines.
